I was hired as a coordinator at $62k, but lately I've been managing a crew of 8 freelancers, building schedules, fielding client feedback—basically doing everything a producer does, without the title, raise, or support. When I brought it up, my boss hit me with the “step up and be a team player” line. I want to be seen as reliable, but I’m starting to feel used. Has anyone ever negotiated a raise after taking on more responsibility? Or is this just classic production—rewarding high performers with more work, not more money?

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity.
